    LLamar is one of the best/perfered out on the market. Don't trust the crap you purchase from Wal Mart or other automotive places. Its pure crap and either fades extremely fast/easy and/or scratches. Your best bet is to buy a 50' piece off ebay and if you trust your skills, 25'. But I will tell you that backglass can be a biotch.

    It depends on the quality of the tint and brand that he uses.

    I got 15% and its pretty dark. You can take the door glass out by taking off the door panels and you'll see a screw on one side of the holding which allow you to pivot the glass to be able to slide it out.

    Keep in mind that if you get metallic, your GPS systems, cell phone signal, pretty much any electronic device that gets a signal won't work as well. Most tint shops recommend that you get a carbon tint if you have a navi or something.
